Four young athletes from families forcibly displaced from Artsakh will represent Armenia at the 2026 IMMAF Youth World Championships, which will be held in Abu Dhabi from August 16 to 23.

Karen Arzumanyan, Tigran Gasparyan, Samvel Avetisyan, and Erik Hayrapetyan earned the right to compete as members of the Armenian national team after achieving strong results in their respective age and weight categories.

Their participation in the international championship gives young people displaced from Artsakh the opportunity not only to continue their athletic careers but also to represent Armenia on the international stage.
